About Teaching at Splash

Teaching at Splash is all about sharing your knowledge and excitement with eager students. The class topic can be anything you are passionate about (your major, your hobbies, etc.) and you have the freedom to design your own class.

As a Splash teacher, you can:

pick the topic you want to teach and design your own curriculum

co-teach with your friends and colleagues

select the duration and size of your class

determine the grade levels of your class (between 7th and 12th)

request to have class supplies funded

All registered teachers receive a free t-shirt and food during Splash. In addition, all teachers are invited to attend an appreciation dinner on the Sunday evening of Splash.

Who Can Teach at Splash

Current Stanford affiliates are eligible to teach. All first-time teachers are required to attend teacher training.

Here are some past course catalogs for inspiration. Our greatest classes come from teachers sharing their passions--anything from 18th century literature to ultimate frisbee. In addition, here are subject areas that
students have requested classes in:

Magic and Illusions History
Physics
Origami
Law
Psychology
Poetry in Modern Songs Materials Engineering Writing
and more...

Once you've come up with a great idea and registered the class, we can help you get prepared to teach it! First-time teachers are required to attend a teacher orientation session, but returning teachers may feel free to come to improve their teaching
ability.

Walk-in activities are fun and generally educational activities that students can join at any time during the class period. Walk-in activities are not traditional classes as students do not register for these classes. However, walk-in activities are a
great experience for students who sometimes deal with cancelled classes or holes in their class schedules.

Time Commitment

Teaching at Splash doesn't have to be a huge time commitment. In addition to your class, all we ask is a one-hour teacher training session for all first-time teachers. More information about training sessions can be found here.
Returning teachers are more than welcome to attend teacher training as well if they choose to.

The Fine Print

We aim to create a safe place where kids can feel inspired and excited about learning. As such, you can't exactly teach anything at Splash. Here are some examples of classes we do not allow:

Classes that include activities that pose any sort of physical or mental danger to our students.

Classes that are illegal, or that explicitly promote illegal activities (e.g. How to Deal Drugs 101).

Classes that promote only a single viewpoint on a sensitive topic (e.g. a pro- or anti-abortion class).

Classes that exist to advertise an outside organization, service, or product.
